Facilitator's experience: 
Sibley Bike Depot has coordinated dozens of classes in bike repair in the last 3 years!

This class will build upon the skills taught in the Basic Bike Maintenance class and expand through overhauling an entire bicycle. Participants will take apart, clean, and repack all bearing systems, including hubs, headsets, and bottom brackets. In addition, the will install new cables and housing on brakes and derailleurs as needed, and lubricate/adjust all shifting systems. In full, folks attending this class will learn how to perform a complete tune-up/overhaul of a bicycle. Participants will work with the same bike through the class, in order to see the complexities and intricacies of one specific bicycle. Note: All class participants will fix up SHOP BIKES during this class! Bikes fixed up will go into one of Sibley's many community programs designed to promote biking!

Facilitator's experience: 
I have been re-learning the native language of my body for a handful of years now.. Grateful for every teacher encountered, i am a student of life for life. This education is presently supported with 4+ years of daily meditation, 3+ years of various yoga practices, 14+ years of various dance training (though not all types were supportive of mind-body unification! ahem, traditional ballet) and almost 2 years of studying Ki-Aikido (i am now in my second year of an intensive 9-month training program at the Center for MindBody Oneness). I also bring the experience of honoring spiritual poetry in its multifaceted embodied forms. I look forward to learning with you!

Let's explore the experience mind-body oneness! Our cultural conditioning
has created well-traveled pathways (i.e. habits) in our consciousness that
reflect a separation of "mind" from "body". Thus many of us have cultivated a
practice of treating our thinking mind and its habitual synaptic firings as
"self", while objectifying the body/physical experience. In other words,
thoughts/beliefs/opinions/memories are "me" and this thing that they live in
is "my body". (ever tried to "fix" yer body so it feels/appears a certain
way? or tried to "overcome" emotions? or heard yourself say something you
didn't mean?) There are countless ways we reinforce the habits of separation
in our day to day lives; however, there is plenty of space for building new
pathways.

The air we inhale is the exhale of plantlife; the air we exhale is its
inhale. The water we take in and release in this community is the Mississippi
River before and again after it quenches our thirst. The food we ingest grew
from the interactive regeneration of the earthbody: the sunlight and rain,
the decayed bones of our ancestors and the compost of our waste. Our presence
in life is part of a constant interdependent flow of natural living
wholeness. There is deep wisdom in the living body and there is vast
possibility available in allowing the mind to be present in this oneness.

Investigation into investigation

This class is inspired by the Roman orator Horace's command, Sapere aude!, or, in English, Dare to know!.

The intention of this course is to study the very simple question: How do we find the information that we want?  This class will ignore the questions of what information we want, or why.  Instead we will focus on methods of investigation and discovery, and the troubles and gad-flies of life that accompany it. 

This class, more simply, will be a group led investigation into the process of investigation itself-- a meta-investigation. While I have some ideas on the topic, I most hope to share the written or composed works of others as source material, along with what we find, together, along the way.

We will be reading the works of the late social scientist, Robert K. Merton, whose contributions to the field of phisolophy and sociology of science, and the nature of investigation itself, I believe can inform us.  In particular, we will be reading from two of his books: "On The Shoulders Of Giants" ( abbrieviated OTSOG ) and "The Travels and Adventures of Serendipity".  This class may also involve reference to Albert Camus, Franz Kafka, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and also whomever we happen find along the way. 

I would also like to involve in this course a study of music, poetry, and fiction, in order to amplify or discredit the ideas found in our investigations of investigation.  It is my intention that this portion of the class be the most collaborative; I would hope that participants of the class would share their own favorite music, poetry, and fiction about the processes of investigation.
